You can check this tutorial how to setup MySQL database in cPanel if you are not familiar with how to configure a database, if you are not using cPanel the best is to perform few researches how to create database via your active control panel.

Login to cPanel by accessing www.yourdomain.com/cpanel and navigate go MySQL Databases, note that this step may vary and in some hosting providers can be different.
Create database.
Create user and set up user password. (write down the username and the password because needs to be re-used later)

Upload the files to server folder where SudoWorkspace will be installed.

Assume that you uploaded the files to “crm” folder, navigate to Eq. http://yourdomain.com/crm/install – Keep in mind that you need to adjust the URL based on where you uploaded the files. If you are installing on subdomain named eq crm you need to access the URL like http://crm.yourdomain.com/install.
If all server requirements passed click Go to Files/Folders Permissions otherwise consult with your hosting provider to fix/enable them.
If all permissions are passed click Setup Database otherwise you need to set 755 permissions for folders and 644 for files.
